The next day, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

Qi Lianxin told her son and daughter-in-law that she would be going back home after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Gao Qinghe family of three, who were enjoying their delicious meal, all looked up at the same time.

Qi Lianxin: "Don't try to stop me. I said I'm leaving and I'm leaving now."

The words that Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai were about to say were immediately swallowed back.

Jiang Qiyue looked at her mother, then at her father, and waited and waited, but her parents didn't say anything.

She immediately panicked, her little mouth twitched, and she was about to cry for everyone to see.

"Eat." Gao Qinghe placed a fragrant piece of pork belly on her daughter's plate.

Jiang Qiyue swallowed hard, tempted by the delicious food. "Fine, I won't cry anymore."

Qi Lianxin was mentally prepared to be asked to stay, but to her surprise, the family of three exchanged a glance and continued to eat.

Did they not hear what he said?

Or did they give up trying to keep him?
"That's good, this way she won't have to let them disrupt her plans." Qi Lianxin comforted herself inwardly.

This meal just didn't taste very good.

At night, Qi Lianxin lay on her bed in her room, looking at the big moon outside the window. The sadness of parting overwhelmed her, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Grandma~"

Jiang Qiyue walked in barefoot, clutching her little pillow.

Climb into bed, find a comfortable spot next to Grandma, arrange your pillows, and lie down.

Qi Lianxin hurriedly turned her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, forcing a loving smile as she asked:
"Why did you run over here barefoot? If your mom finds out, she'll spank you."

Jiang Qiyue shook her head to show she wasn't afraid, then placed her little hands under her cheeks and said in a childish voice:

"I'm afraid that when I open my eyes tomorrow, Grandma will be gone."

Therefore, she had to stay with her grandmother.

Qi Lianxin felt a pang of sadness and coaxed, "Grandma won't leave quietly. Grandma will wait until my darling wakes up before leaving."

Jiang Qiyue yawned, buried her head in her grandmother's waist, and fell asleep close to her.

Qi Lianxin looked at the little guy clinging tightly to her clothes beside her, and almost burst into tears again.

Gao Qinghe slept soundly through the night.

Jiang Baohai's alarm clock rang, and she got up at the same time.

Qi Lianxin asked in surprise, "So early?"

She took out the duffel bag she had brought earlier and was packing her clothes on the sofa, preparing to return to the village.

Suddenly remembering that there wasn't enough porridge in the pot, I quickly got up to check:
"I only cooked porridge for Yueyue and Xiaohai. How about I make you a bowl of noodles?"

"It's alright, let them eat first."

Gao Qinghe took out a yoga mat and laid it on the balcony. "It just so happens that the housekeeping company brought people over today for a trial. I'll have them cook me a meal and test their cooking skills."

Qi Lianxin, who had just brought out two bowls of porridge, was taken aback upon hearing this.

"You're going to hire a nanny? Isn't one hourly worker enough?"

Whether it was because she was too surprised or too distressed about the money, or because she couldn't stand such extravagance, Qi Lianxin's hands trembled as she held the bowl.

Jiang Baohai, who had just dragged Jiang Qiyue out of bed, saw this and quickly reached out to take her.

"Mom, please be careful. If the bowls are hot, carry them one at a time. There's no need to rush."

Qi Lianxin rolled her eyes at him. Who among those who cook all year round is afraid of getting burned?
She wasn't shaking from being burned; she was shaking from anger.

However, Gao Qinghe, who was practicing yoga on the balcony, seemed not to notice her reaction and continued to nod and say:
"Yes, let's find another live-in nanny. Anyway, Mom, you're leaving soon, and the room will be free for the nanny to stay in."

Kao Ching-ho also said that there are many benefits to having a live-in nanny. Not only can she cook and do housework, but she can also help pick up and drop off the children. She seemed very much looking forward to it.

"Then what are you doing?" Qi Lianxin couldn't help but ask sharply.

Jiang Baohai looked up at his mother in surprise. "Even a clay figure has a temper?"
Jiang Qiyue also had a stunned expression.

Jiang Baohai gently tapped his daughter's head. "Eat quickly, or we'll be late!"
Jiang Qiyue stuck out her tongue and quickly finished the corn and lean meat porridge in her bowl.

Before leaving, the father and daughter looked back at their grandmother, who was sitting on the sofa folding clothes in anger, and then at their mother, who was standing on one leg on the balcony. They had a premonition that the next few days would be very difficult.

The father and daughter had barely left when the doorbell rang. Gao Qinghe turned around in surprise, "Mom, it must be the housekeeping company. Go open the door."

Qi Lianxin lifted her eyelids slightly, remaining silent.

Pretending to be deaf?

Gao Qinghe curled the corners of her lips, stopped, put on her shoes, and jogged over to open the door herself.

Hearing the commotion at the door, Qi Lianxin couldn't resist sneaking over to peek at the three nannies brought by the housekeeping company.

Two women in their forties, dressed simply but with a brisk pace, even straightened the shoes by the door after changing their shoes, showing they were very attentive to their work.

Qi Lianxin felt inexplicably uneasy.

The other one looked to be in his early thirties, dressed in bright clothes, and looked around suspiciously as soon as he entered. Qi Lianxin immediately thought he wouldn't do well.

Young and cunning, staying at home is sure to cause trouble!

Thinking this, and seeing that Gao Qinghe was completely unaware, Qi Lianxin couldn't help but tug at her.

"Mom, what's wrong? Do you have any objections?" Gao Qinghe asked loudly on purpose.

All three nannies looked over.

Qi Lianxin choked up, let go, and stepped back to look around.

Gao Qinghe suppressed the smirk that was creeping up her lips, saw the domestic service agency agent off, and said casually to the three trial nannies:

"It's a three-day trial period, so just do what you normally do."

"By the way, I haven't had breakfast yet. Could you please make me something to eat?"

The three of them readily agreed and immediately went into the kitchen to see what ingredients were in the refrigerator that they could cook.

Soon, three different bowls of breakfast were laid out in front of Gao Qinghe, awaiting inspection.

They were very thoughtful; knowing that Gao Qinghe wanted to eat three portions, they made very small amounts.

Gao Qinghe was very satisfied and officially began the three-day test.

So, for the next three days, Qi Lianxin watched helplessly as his daughter-in-law was served by three men at the same time, like an emperor.

She, who was full of socialist ideas about equality for all, felt that her daughter-in-law had ruined her entire life's conscience!

Fortunately, this ordeal only lasted three days.

After their probationary period ended, the nannies returned to the company to await the results.

Qi Lianxin had packed her luggage and was ready to listen to Gao Qinghe's decision on who to keep before heading to the train station.

Gao Qinghe crossed her arms and thought for a long time. Under Qi Lianxin's anxious gaze, she asked her hesitantly:

"Mom, which one do you think is better?"

Qi Lianxin was taken aback. "I said?"

Gao Qinghe: "Okay, go ahead."

Then she won't hold back!

Qi Lian thought to himself, "If you ask me, none of them should be kept!"

“I knew the youngest one was cunning from the moment he arrived, and sure enough, for the past three days he’s been constantly complaining that our family isn’t as rich as the previous one.”

"The other two seem honest, but one of them can't even press the wrong button when I teach her how to use the washing machine and microwave, and the other one keeps looking at our Yueyue with a sidelong glance. The more I look at her, the more I think she looks like a kidnapper. This one is the one we can't keep!"

Does it look like a kidnapper?

That really shouldn't be allowed to stay.

Gao Qinghe: "In that case, we can only keep Sister Liu. She's a bit slow, but if we teach her a few more times, she shouldn't blow up the microwave."

Gao Qinghe decided that she was the one.

He patted his daughter's bottom and pushed her forward, saying, "Come on, let's go see Grandma off with Daddy."

She opened her front door, pressed the elevator button, and smiled as she raised her hand.

Was it decided so hastily?

Qi Lianxin opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopping herself, struggling with her words, before being pushed into the elevator door.

Jiang Baohai pressed the close button, and the silver elevator doors slowly closed. (End of Chapter)
